PowerBook 180 questions

[ghall]

So, I'm working on trying to get a PowerBook 180 up and running, and I have a few questions.
It's missing a power adapter, where can I get one for cheap (or even better, for free)?
Can it run Linux? (edit: answered this myself)

I'll post more questions as they come up.
Thanks everyone!

Hey, I have a new question, just out of curiosity. Why doesn't the 180 have either fans or air vents of some kind? Wouldn't it overheat?

Because the CPU doesn't get that hot at all, a heatsink is all it needs. Heck, up through the G4's, most desktops didn't have fans on their CPU's. The Cube had no fan anywhere in it!

Wow. That is amazing.

Anyway, still looking for a good deal on a power adapter. If anyone has one, or knows where to get one, let me know.

Be still my heart! Ah, I wish I had a battery for my Duo 210, or I'd use it all the time... those are some sweet old computers, ya know?
